MP3.
Moving Picture Experts Group Audio Layer III.
Fang Zhuo's search results using Google.
Then, he searched on Baidu, which was founded not long ago, but there was still no Chinese name.
“Brother, what does this mean?”
Zhao Suqi leaned on the hospital bed and read together for a while. He found that it was difficult to read the all-English page, but Fang Zhuo was so focused that it didn't seem to have any impact.
"What is written above is an audio encoding. The literal translation should be..." Fang Zhuo organized the language, "Moving images, no, moving image expert standard, no no, moving image expert standard audio..."
Zhao Suqi’s face was filled with questions.
Fang Zhuo scratched his head and understood what it meant, but what does this thing translate to? Anyway, it is MP3, a music player that was once popular all over the country.
He no longer struggled with the words and said directly: "A standard for sound frequency. It is said that it was invented by the Germans in 1991. It has gone through a series of developments and became what it is now."
“What can be done?” Zhao Suqi continued to ask.
Fang Zhuo switched a browser page and said slowly: "You just read the press release and said that Guahao.com is a combination of the Internet and medical care. This is what I have always said to my leaders and venture capital investors."
"The Internet is booming, and its tentacles will spread to different fields as it develops. Online registration is its entry point into the medical field. With the development in the future, online medical care will have more uses, but at this stage
, we can only register for the pre-diagnosis stage.”
“Similarly, let’s think about how the Internet can enter the field of music?”
Zhao Suqi pointed at the screen smartly and asked: "Use this audio standard?"
“How should we listen to music now?” Fang Zhuo asked.
“You can watch TV, use stereos, and use a Walkman with tapes.” Zhao Suqi listed.
“Well, that’s about it. The Walkman is pretty good, and the one that’s popular now is probably from Sony.” Fang Zhuo’s memory came alive, “How many songs are there on a tape? About ten or so.”
He continued: "But using the MP3 audio standard can significantly reduce audio data. Well, it means you can listen to more songs in a smaller size. Let me check, let me check."
Zhao Suqi watched his cousin start using the computer, one English page at a time, and another English page at another time.
“Brother, are you so good at English?” She looked at it for a while, feeling a little dazzled.
“It’s easy to communicate.” Fang Zhuo’s English proficiency was honed by working in foreign trade in his previous life, so he has no problem communicating smoothly. However, he still can’t understand some of the professional terms on the screen now.
He did not stick to the meaning, but used the teacher's experience in teaching cloze to read the main idea.
Soon, Fang Zhuo discovered with some confusion that players using the MP3 standard did not appear as he had imagined, nor did they belong to Apple as he remembered.
“Apple is not the first MP3 player.” Fang Zhuo muttered to himself.
Zhao Suqi didn’t hear clearly and asked: “What?”
"It's okay." Fang Zhuo's mind turned and he added in his mind, but Apple's Ipod is the most famous MP3 player and once became synonymous with this audio standard.
He recalled it carefully and couldn't remember when the Ipod was launched. He didn't pay much attention to this in his previous life. He only knew that MP3 was very popular.
“Qiqi, I will go shopping in the city tomorrow to see if there is such a player and I can buy you one.” Fang Zhuo said.
Zhao Suqi happily agreed: "Okay, by the way, who is Jay? What songs has he sung?"
Fang Zhuo didn’t answer and searched directly.
"Is he a newcomer who just debuted?" Zhao Suqi saw the message and asked, "Is "Xingqing" good to hear?"
Fang Zhuo recalled the melody of the song and sang two lines of memorized lyrics: "Hand in hand, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky, looking at the stars, one, two, three, four, in a row.
Wire."
“The melody is quite nice.” Zhao Suqi said with a smile.
“Well, from Baodao, if you have the opportunity, you can sign me up as an endorsement for the website.” Fang Zhuo felt that this was inappropriate and corrected him, “If you have the opportunity, ask him to advertise for Yike.”
“Isn’t Yike going to build an OEM registration machine? Are you looking for a singer to advertise?” Zhao Suqi asked.
Fang Zhuo shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily."
It’s not necessary to just look for him.
It does not necessarily mean that we only make OEM registration machines.
…
The next day.
Fang Zhuo still drove to pick up Yu Hong, and then started to wander around the city.
Yu Hong followed him around for a while and realized something was wrong.
“What are you looking for? What player? What is the nickname of the registration machine?”
“It’s just a player for listening to music. I’ll buy one for my sister.” Fang Zhuo replied. He searched online yesterday and found that there were already MP3 players for sale. Although he didn’t remember them in his previous life, he didn’t believe that such a big city like Shanghai wouldn’t have them.
ˆKeep wandering around.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Fang Zhuo bought an MP3 music player, Rio PMP300, for 1,700 yuan. According to the salesperson, this player can download music directly from the Internet for free.
At 12 noon, Fang Zhuo spent 2,000 yuan to buy last year's new MP3 player - Jukebox. The difference between it and the PMP300 is that it uses a 2.5-inch hard drive with a capacity of up to 6.4G, but it is very large.
“Hey, Fang Zhuo, why did you buy two of them? Who else are you giving them to?” Yu Hong felt that this guy was hiding something from her, and she knew it by looking at his focused eyes.
“Have you ever used this?” Fang Zhuo was sitting in the car playing with the brand new player. From his point of view, both of them were quite rough, especially the 6.4G Jukebox which seemed to be larger than Sony’s Walkman.
Yu Hong shook his head.
“I think this thing has a future.” Fang Zhuo thought about the difference between the two players in his hand and the Ipod. They both support the MP3 format. Why is the latter so successful?
Yu Hong opened the manual and read it carefully in English, PMP300, flash memory music player.
She looked at them for a while, shook her head and said, "These are too expensive, I can just use a Walkman."
Fang Zhuo asked: “How much does the Walkman cost?”
“Some are cheap and some are expensive, the Sony one costs a thousand yuan,” Yu Hong replied.
Fang Zhuo said: "That's quite expensive."
Yu Hong looked at the man who had just spent 2,000 and 1,700 yuan to buy two music players as if he were a fool.
She said disdainfully: "You think this has a future? It's so big and doesn't have much storage capacity. How can they compete with the Walkman?"
The one with the larger volume in the left hand has a larger storage capacity, and the one with the smaller storage capacity in the right hand has a smaller volume.
Fang Zhuo looked at the machines whose shortcomings were explained by Yu Hong, and said with certainty: "It can definitely combine their advantages, Xiao Yu, this should really be considered."
“You’re not going to take this to CCTV, are you?” Yu Hong suddenly remembered the program.
“No, not yet, I have to figure it out before I talk about it.” Fang Zhuo said firmly.
